These software 'thinga-MUH-jijs' whatever they are, troll the entire internet gathering information, combining/compiling data at incredible capacities, then they can, depending on how they are "programmed" literally flood forums worldwide with post's of there own, depending on the subject matter. Gee, there almost human.

A web bot or 'bot' is a software application that crawls the internet in a repetitive fashion performing tasks or searching for information. Web bots are used in a myriad of ways online. These bots can find all types of websites and locate important keywords in them. Web bots then analyze the information they find from various sites and are able to find keyword trends. Web bots also can complete tasks much faster than humans in a majority of cases, and have been used widely for posting messages to newsgroups and delivering other media to multiple sources. You will also find them on many instant messaging services such as AIM and IRC. They do various automated tasks from reporting sports scores to chatting in chat rooms. Technology today is advancing at such a fast rate, there's no telling what these bots will be able to do next.

he Web Bot Project and 2012
<STYLE>#fullpost{display:inline;}</STYLE>Maybe some of you have heard of The Web Bot Project, but for those of you who have not, it's quite intriguing.

The Web Bot Project, developed in the late 1990's, was created to assist in making stock market predictions.

The technology uses a system of spiders to crawl the Internet and search for keywords, much like a search engine does. When a keyword is located, the bot program takes a snapshot of the text preceding and following the keyword. This snapshot of text is sent to a central location where it is then filtered to define meaning.

The projects concept is aimed at tapping into the "collective unconscious" of the universe and it's inhabitants. As well, there is an interesting time concept involved and an unusual concept of a "tipping point" regarding the past, current, and future times. It goes a bit deeper than viewing what those of us on the Internet are saying.

But in 2001, bot operators began to notice that stock market predictions were not the only matters being accurately predicted by the program. They began to take notice of coincidence with occurrences and explored it further.

One of the first accurate predictions from the bot program took place in June of 2001. The program predicted that a life altering event would take place within the next 60-90 days. An occurrence of such proportion that it's effects would be felt worldwide. The program based it's prediction on "web chatter" which ultimately represents the collective unconscious of society.

Here's where it starts to become very interesting. The bot program also predicts a worldwide calamity taking place in the year 2012. For those of you who study astrology, prophecies, and the like, you may already be familiar with this date.

The Mayans were considered by many as great "seers" and built a society that focused it's studies on time, synchronicity, and consciousness. The Mayan calendar predicts that mankind will end in the year 2012. A period which also signifies the end of the current era in the Mayan calendar. But this end may represent a symbolic end - more so than a literal end. An end that refers to a shift in consciousness, such as a societal shift into a spiritual age from a scientific one.

In June 2001 I began to correspond with a reader of my website who said he was willing to share access to a promising new web technology, on the condition that I protect his identity. The person related that he had been a very senior programmer with a software company in the Pacific Northwest (you can guess which company, right?) and besides being a SQL ace, he was also heavily into linguistics and a language called Prolog, which is more like an artificial intelligence language than anything else.

I was skeptical, to be sure, but a few days after we began the email exchange of ideas, he sent me a program he had written that allows a computer to be turned into speed reading tool. It was based on rapidly displaying individual words on a computer screen. He said this was a technology that he had developed and sold for a while on the Internet. He also explained how the development rights to the technology had been sold to a company ( www.ebrainspeed.com). In essence, after looking up the patent he held for the technology, I was convinced that this fellow was for real and might be on to something with the method of looking for linguistic shift on the Internet as a tool to forecast future events.

He described how technology worked. A system of spiders, agents, and wanderers travel the Internet, much like a search engine robot, and look for particular kinds of words. It targets discussion groups, translation sites, and places were regular people post a lot of text.

When a "target word" was found, or something that was lexically similar, the web bots take a small 2048 byte snip of surrounding text and send it to a central collection point. The collected data at times approached 100 GB sample sizes and we could have used terabytes. The collected data was then filtered, using at least 7-layers of linguistic processing in Prolog, which was then reduced to numbers and then a resultant series of scatter chart plots on multiple layers of Intellicad ( http://www.cadinfo.net/icad/icadhis.htm). Viewed over a period of time, the scatter chart points tended to coalesce into highly concentrated areas. Each dot on the scatter chart might represent one word or several hundred.

To define meanings, words or groups of words have to be reduced to their essence. You know how lowest common denominators work in fractions, right? Well the process is like looking for least common denominators among groups of words.

I'm just specualating here, and I am speculating based on many observations and studying the Martial Law, POLICE STATE END TIMES TACTICS to spy on peoples computers sort of deal. Try to follow along with me, Some time ago I posted these threads over the net....

Are they tracking and following You?

NOW, I'm not trying to scare anybody away, I suspect that these "Bots" are Government Created SPY programs, I can't verify this, but NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE, after listening to Alex JONES on Coast to Coast show last night, he mentioned a great deal of the many "changes" coming to the net soon, now what I mentioned here above is my SPECULATION, thats all.

Oh and as for the "bots" there is also a MSN BOT, there are others I suspect, I shall monitor them closely.

here is a snapshot of the various "BOTS" that are on currently on CC....

Don't think I believe the BOT can do all that is written about it (i.e., predictions).

Looking for key words and taking snap shots of the text before and after the key word, sounds plausible.

Where is it stored?

Why is the information collected?

Well I'm pretty sure the yahoo and google type bots are used for their advertising. Say you post in a thread that is about Fried Chicken. When you open that page (if it has google/yahoo ads embedded in the page) you are most likely going to see ads that have something in common with Fried Chicken. Maybe for Crisco, maybe for KFC, maybe chicken recipes.
